Can Good Parents Bring up Bad Children

Parents want the best for their children. They also want their children to be well behaved and God fearing. If you fear God and walk in his ways, you want your children to do the same. You might find that some parents are God fearing but the Children have chosen to abandon the ways they have been taught by the parents. The general rule is, good parents bring up good children but sometimes, this is not always the case. So what do you do when you have tried all that you can to bring up your children in the right way yet they chose to walk away from it?

First and foremost, you must realize that we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities, evil spirits and rulers of darkness. This means that your child is not the problem but the spirit of disobedience in him. You must therefore fight this spirit using the word of God and prayers. When you learn that your child is not the enemy, you have won half he battle as you will not be attacking your child directly.

Parents who have children who have gone contrary to their teachings need a lot of support from family and church members. Realize that just as the devil can chose to attack your family though sickness or lack, he has chosen to attack you through your child. Do not let him win the battle but become a prayer warrior and put him into his right place. Be praying for your children even before they are born. Dedicate them to God and let your Pastor pray over them when they are born. This way, you build a hedge around them that the devil cannot get through.
